NCEES is kicking off a celebration of 100 years of professional licensure.
In 1907, Wyoming State Engineer Clarence T. Johnston was alarmed by the number of untrained individuals offering engineering and surveying services to the public. Johnston prepared a bill mandating registration by a state board; the state legislature passed it into law. Later that year, Charles Bellamy became the nation’s first licensed engineer.
By 1950, all states, plus Alaska, Hawaii, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico had adopted similar legislation toward protection of the public.
